Mmmmmmmmmmm... lunch!
Nov. 4th, 2004 12:35 pmFor many, many centuries, my wife has been attempting to get me to bring my lunch to work, instead of dining at such favored and expensive establishments as I am known to frequent.
Despite all efforts to encourage her to make said lunch, which I would then carry and, ultimately, consume, she replied to the aeffect of: make your own damn lunch; except with far more profanity.
Having lost the battle to have lunch made for me, and having perpetually found myself at a loss for ingredients (something about me being overly selective), I finally made up a list of foods that, if procured, would allow me to construct a satisfying meal.
Lo and behold, the ingredients were purchased, despite much brouhaha regarding the fact that the quality and quantity of ingredients now outweighed the cost of an out-of-office dining experience.
Last night, in accordance with my master plan (entitled: "Make something that tastes Good"), I prepared the pocketless pita; the bag of chopped onions, sliced tomatoes, and black olives; the bag of honey ham, capicola, and muenster; the bag of pre-seasoned chopped lettuce; and some additional dressing on the side. Today, at lunch, I prepared the pita, added the dressing, then the lower-level veggies, followed by the deli department - alas, no toaster oven! but, nonetheless, a suitable warming/melted cheese aeffect was supplied by the microwave. After topping with the lettuce, I instantly became the envy of the one co-worker who happened to walk by and eye the creation.
A delicious sandwich, far superior to anything offered at the Subway across the street and, at the least, more filling than a Quiznos flatbread sandwich, if not competitive taste-wise.
Ah, I am quite satisfied now! =)
